Yes. Or simpler: taking n years, calculate the anomaly towards the mean by ENSO state (so their annula cycle, probably from Aug/Sep each year starting) and then reranking them after they are corrected. Might be a relative straight rise (as it would also correct for annual cycles).

How would the table look like, if we would calculate the anomalies towards years with El Niño, La Niña or Neutral (whatever fits the actual year)?

Best time to cycle the roads in IRL (some might say the only) is Sunday mornings. The elderly are stitting in the church and the others negotiate their pints from the night before. So it is quiet on the roads and halfway safe (unless someone is late to church or comes too late home from the pints).

The history and rivalary between cars and bikes in Ireland is a complex one. Mixed with often much too narrow roads and the wide spread lack of cycle paths (due to the complex history) lead to the rest.

Not really surprising or? The failure to get this important connection in place in time tells a lot. That the connection must be biuild is clear since 2009, but 20 years are obviously not enough. Major consequence: If the danish side is finished people will use car/bus. www.ndr.de/nachrichten/...

When you live in a country in which you do not speak the language and wonder whether the public broadcaster is a bit disrespectful towards their princess (automatic translations lead to some strange wordings and “krudtugle” has obviously many meanings in danish)

Don’t get your hopes up. Their track record on software projects is not very convincing (and that is a massive euphemism). And the MS replacement only targets on MS365, not windows itself (they try to establish OpenDesk).

There is still the question, whether the AI predictions will overcome one day the basic flaws of statistical predictions we had for decades.

But still there is the predicate missing in the sentence, or? I guess in the old day language courses they would have gone towards "name the parts of the sentence" and without the predicate it would be very tricky to argue that it is a full sentence as it claims to be (oc there are exceptions).

It is a shocking development. Many cannot imagine how many elderly just start their computer and open skype to talk with their loved ones. It is not the best, but it is around for a long long time. Now it will mean to retrain a lot of people who are not really happy about technological change.

Just came to it because I remembered one of Chris articles: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
In the end the question is what influences what and in which hierarchy. Know not enough about the pacific, but would be interesting to have a full system from Kuroshio to gulf stream.

The Gulf Stream influence on wintertime North Atlantic jet variability

In this article we investigate the influence of the Gulf Stream sea-surface temperature (SST) front on the North Atlantic eddy-driven jet and its variability, by analysing the NCEP-CFSR dataset and a...

How much is it connected to the northward shift expected in the Atlantic region (Hasn't Chris also written papers on that)? So is there a connection between the two (because there we are quite sure about the northern shift, or?). And when we are add it: Is there a Golf stream connection to pacific?

Man könnte auch das Wahlrecht anpassen: entweder Wahlkreise für Auslandsdeutsche schaffen oder die Möglichkeit geben ausschl. die Zweitstimme abzugeben. Da mit dem neuen Wahlrecht quasi alle Mandate via Zweitstimme vergeben werden, wäre damit zumindest die Wahlteilnahme ausreichend gewürdigt.

One option might be how generally the sources would present the topic climate change in the future... looking at the media it is often doom and gloom rather a realistic description (which would be bad enough).
